Loop walk around Le Châtelard-près-Romont (FR) that leads to the Buvette du Défénant.
Hiking in the lovely countryside of Glâne. You have the opportunity to make a detour (approx. 700m round trip) for a welcome break at the Buvette du Défénant.
Rolling landscapes, typical of the Glâne region, beautiful spruce forests - the itinerary is located at an altitude between 780m and 1000m - and stunning views of the Fribourg Pre-Alps. Take the time to observe the fauna and flora along your way.
